Bankart
Bankart Repair Surgery by Dr. Harsha G N
A Bankart lesion is an injury to the labrum of the shoulder joint, commonly caused by recurrent shoulder dislocations or traumatic shoulder instability. This condition affects the stability of the shoulder and often leads to repeated dislocations, pain, and reduced confidence in arm movements.
Bankart repair is a specialized procedure aimed at restoring the torn labrum and tightening the shoulder capsule. Most repairs are performed using minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, allowing precise repair, improved stability, and faster recovery.
When to Consider Bankart Repair
- Recurrent shoulder dislocations or instability
- Pain or apprehension during shoulder movements
- Labral tear confirmed on MRI or imaging studies
- Inability to return to sports or overhead activities
Benefits of Bankart Repair Surgery
- Improved shoulder stability and reduced risk of redislocation
- Relief from pain and instability symptoms
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic approach with quicker recovery
- Safe return to sports and daily activities
Post-surgical rehabilitation is essential for successful recovery after Bankart repair. A structured physiotherapy program focuses on restoring shoulder strength, stability, and range of motion. Regular follow-up ensures long-term shoulder function and prevents recurrence.

My first operation ever (hopefully the last). The experience in the Operation Theatre was mind blowing. DK sir, all docs, and supporting staff were extremely cool right from the time I got into the Operation Theatre. I had to get my Ankle operated (2 fractures). I felt I was in safe hands throughout.

We have known Dr.Harsha for 2 years now. Had consulted him for my mother in law arthritis treatment. Recently visited him for my mother in law’s arm fracture. He provided us with the best course of treatment considering all the other health factors. Always seen him as a very humble person, provides knowledgable care and takes time to address all our doubts and fears. Good doctors like Dr.Harsha replace the fear of illness with trust in recovery. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good orthopaedic advice and treatment. I am really grateful for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well being.
